ab216327 was shown to recognize Occludin in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in OCLN (Occludin) knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and OCLN (Occludin) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab216327 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at  1/1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Occludin expression in HeLa is expected to be negative.

The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab105389, 1/200 dilution) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab96899, DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h.

ab105389 was shown to specifically react with NES in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in NES knockout cells. Wild-type and NES knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab105389 and ab18058 (Mouse anti-Vinculin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/100 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively.
